Reply With QuoteThis software does not use Mappoint's GPS abilities. It interfaces directly with your GPS device and the serial port. As long as your device is IMEA compliant then you should be fine. I've tested DashPC with the Delorme EarthMate and it works well.
I am about to buy a GPS soon. From all of the posts I've read, it seems the Deluo is one of the most accurate models out there so I was leaning towards getting one of those.
Has anyone tested the Deluo w/This Mod & MapPoint 2004 N America yet. If not, what models are you guys using and how happy are you with your GPS and this setup? I just want to make sure whatever GPS I buy, I have more than one option to choose from when using Mapping software...

SilentAdmirer,
I shouldn't have opened my mouth about AGPS before i got to test it. I am very impressed with dashPC. It does all the things that i wanted but would've have had to pay if I were using AGPS.
I think someone mentioned this before, but maybe there should be a feature to save directions like MP does with the drop down window.
Something else that could be helpful for first time users would be to have a little window pop up when the user paused over a button for a few seconds. Like alt tags in HTML.
I'm also having trouble with my voice commands. I have tested to make sure that my mic works in the control panel and everything seems to be fine. When i try to use the voice command, "computer ...," nothing seems to happen. Maybe I just have a crappy mic.
I hope you are not offended with my opinions and take them as constructive criticism.
Again, awesome program and keep up the great work.
Soon I will be ready with the next version which would more of the bug fixes of the previous version and some other features. Then I will start a thread for features.
Try updating your voice profile from the control panel->speech->speech Reco->train profile. Also After computer give a very small pause.
How can I be offended ?? Its because of you people that the software is being tested. I could not test the software all by myself, its almost impossible to find most of the bugs. A programmer is a worst tester for his own program . Ultimately our aim is to have an good usable application for the car . Together with the members of mp3car we can make a wonderful software for all
SA, do you plan to make the source code available?
@ML430
I have this working with the Deluo GPS and Mapoint 2004 North America.
@SilentAdmirer
Can't wait for the new update.
I do have a request though. Could you include a commented out .skin file so that i could create a skin more easily. I would like to create a cutom skin but am a little confused with all of the numbers.

I looked in the control panel (as SilentAdmirer instructed) and noticed that i didn't even have speech recognition installed. After upgrading using MS Office 2003 and training my voice, it recognized all the commands. This is honestly one of the coolest programs ever.

Not at this stage but maybe later.
@Antimatter
New release almost done, have to finish a full screen Map mode and visual directions and will release it in by friday. This release will also have support any screen size defined in ini. and will strech/shrink the image and position of the buttons. In this release I will also comment the skin.ini.
Awesome!
Good work. All of those features will be very helpful.
